Howie Roseman confirms contact with free agent Zach Ertz

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has maintained communication with veteran tight end Zach Ertz during his recovery from a significant knee injury. While Roseman expressed respect for the former Eagles player, he noted the team is currently satisfied with its existing tight end roster. Philadelphia recently set its initial 53-man roster featuring Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, Eli Stowers, and E.J. Jenkins. Another tight end, Grant Calcaterra, is currently on injured reserve with a designation to return after four games. The organization continues to monitor the recovery progress of Ertz as the regular season begins. No immediate roster move is planned, as the team intends to evaluate its current depth during the opening weeks of play.
